  1. White tattoos are pretty good but I'd look at UV tattoos as too. (Wow that's a lot of "toos" in one sentence!) The UV tattoos look like white tatts but they also glow in the dark under UV lights in some places! They look pretty awesome! Edit: PM "Irezumi" on SF, he has a great tattoo shop in Sheffield with good custom work, I'm sure he'd be able to give you some advice
  2. Warmer winters? With all the snowfall last Winter I don't see how this can be true. The weatherman/weatherwoman can't tell me accurately what the weather is going to be next week, why would I believe that they can tell me accurately what it's going to be in 10 years?
  3. Older maybe, but not always wiser. The main issue I have is older generations being disrespectful to younger generations with the mindset that they're somehow superior. This is echoed in the OP with things that I've put in bold. I don't think I'd get a welcome reception if I made a thread about how easy it is to criticize older generations and complain about them hanging around bus stops, smoking and swearing - even though they do. I don't see the problem with any of those things - they're all personal choices. Mary Schmich (Chicago Tribune, 1997) said it best when she wrote: "Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders." Everyone has been young and nothing has changed. Stories that my Dad (61 years old) tells me about his youth bring up memories of mine which would support this. I could honestly write for decades on this subject but I've got better things to do
  4. So are you contesting the CCTV evidence? The incident of the DJ being hit and then Gerrard laying into him has been shown. Even if Gerrard was provoked, he's paid millions each year and part of his career is to not rise to it. It's unproffesional conduct. Guilt isn't always proven in a legal sense which is the harsh reality of the CJS but it doesn't mean that Gerrard isn't guilty.
  5. If I was on the money Gerrard was I'd let them say what they wanted. People could say "Liverpool scum" and I'd reply "Yes but I'm a millionaire and your wife has probably fantasized about me".
  6. What annoyed me more was the way it was reported... "Steven Gerrard attacked a member of the public" Isn't HE a member of the public too? Saying statements like that influence people to hold celebs in higher regard when really we're all just people. It's most likely that any other person would have received some sort of punishment. It's a poor reflection on the CJS.
  7. Or it could be that he's just choosing people who are right for the job which coincidently means some women won't be in. I mean with Patricia Hewitt and Harriet Harman as choices, who can blame him.
  8. Every student landlord offers the contract for the whole year - this has gone on for years.
  9. Prevention is not always as easy as it seems though. First of all you need the support of the parent and child as well as all teaching staff. You then have a multitude of things to do - some of which simly can't be fitted into the life of a teacher who will already have a mountain of work to do. This idea also brings into question the expectations of teaching staff. Teachers already have a lot of work to do and to expect them to give away the time they have left to deal with problems that (arguably) need to be handled outside of school time is a bit much. In this case I think that schools should be actively communicating with social services (and other agencies) to sort out the problem. Understanding violence (and other problems) may be more benefitial for the individual child, but not for every other child in that school. By allowing a violent child to attend the school why you help them out is putting other children at risk - something I don't agree with.
  10. It's easy to say that but my Mum was headteacher in a primary school about a decade ago where children would bring in kitchen knives from home and would resort to violence if they were in trouble for something. She often couldn't offer support because the child/parent were unwilling to accept it which only left her one choice. In the 10 years that she was a head, the school changed from being in special measures to being one of the best in the county. I don't think she, and the rest of the staff, could have achieved that unless they had excluded a few of the pupils.
  11. But we voted for those people to make the rules! If you don't like what a particular party is doing then you don't vote for them. It's pointless to moan about it over and over...same old stuff. Ultimately 99% of people in their position would do the same - so all I can assume is that people are jealous that they didn't choose a career with the same benefits. I'm not being a doormat - I'm just tired of people moaning about something that doesn't hold much relevance as it can only really be dealt with via an election.
  12. Bacon, Brie and Cranberry sauce. Try it and I dare you to tell me that it's not the best sandwich you'll have ever tasted
  13. But a lot of MPs haven't done wrong. Every MP (apart from the obvious ones that have been subsequently sacked etc.) have followed guidelines that were in place. It would be like working in an office and being told you can help yourself to A, B and C. 99% of people would take A, B and C and would be shocked if they were then publicy persecuted for doing so.
